100$ per linode for backups + sys monitoring. Wondering how they will handle the "co-managed" components, particularly "tuning" and "services". This is where it can get messy with conflicts of interest. Wouldn't take a lot to eat up that 100.
Nice timing. Linode just forced rebooted the physical machine my instance was running due to an "issue" with their virtualization software about sixty minutes ago.<p>I presume this means I can pay extra to have their staff bring my applications back online after such events.
